Connecting Two Graphics Cards:
Step 1: Observe the steps in "1-5 Installation of Expansion Cards" on
page 16 and install two SLI-ready graphics cards of the same
model to the PCIE_16_1 and PCIE_16_2 slots.
Step 2: Position the SLI Mode side of the module above the socket at
a 25
o
angle. Align the small notch at the top edge of the module
with the key in the socket.
Step 3: Insert the top edge of the module into the socket. Make sure
the gold edge connectors are fully inserted.
Step 4: Gently press down on the two ends of the module until it is
locked in place by the socket clips. (You should hear a "click"
when the module is attached.)
Enabling SLI Mode--
Step 1: Gently spread the retaining clips of the socket and the
module may then be removed from the socket. Hold the
module by the edges and lift it away from the socket.
Follow the steps below to enable SLI Mode. Note that as the switch module is inserted in the socket in the
Normal Mode direction by factory default, the first step to enable SLI mode on your system is to take out the
module from the socket and insert it in the SLI Mode direction.

Only Windows XP operating system is currrently supported by the NVIDIA SLI technology.
